# Bedspread Nightlights The In Soft Pillow Uses LED Lights to Illuminate the Bedroom By Michael Hines | Published 2011-10-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-soft-pillow References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/10/26/another-huggable-light/) & [oguchiportfolio](http://oguchiportfolio.com/) Nightlights for adults would be a lot more socially acceptable if they came in the form of the In Soft pillow. The In Soft pillow is a deceptive design that, at first glance, looks to be a [normal pillow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comforting-pillow). A simple squeeze reveals this pillow's true purpose; it's an [adult nightlight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikea-varmblixt-smart-lights). The In Soft pillow was designed by Takaaki Oguchi and is a Lightning Award Winning design. The pillow does not generate as much heat as would be expected as its light source is an [LED bulb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-lighting) that doesn't burn hot enough to cause discomfort. The only issue I can see with this light is in the way its activated. Rough and tumble sleepers could very well turn the In Soft pillow on several times a night! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Adult Nightlights:** Opportunity for creating more socially acceptable nightlights designed for adults. - **Deceptive Design:** Potential for designing products that appear normal but serve a hidden purpose. - **LED Lighting:** Possibility for utilizing LED bulbs in innovative ways to provide illumination. ### Where This Applies - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for incorporating innovative lighting solutions into home decor products. - **Consumer Electronics:** Potential for developing LED-powered gadgets for personal use. - **Product Design:** Chance for creating deceptive designs that surprise and delight consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Soft Comfort Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-lamp.md) - [Sleep-Aiding Tranquil Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-player.md) - [Relaxing Speaker-Equipped Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nitebuds-pillow.md) - [Astronaut Night Light Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/night-light-projectors.md) - [Color-Matching Night Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angelcare-magical-dreams-lumicolor-bear.md) - [Soothing Ambience-Focused Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medmaster-pillow.md) - [Infrared Technology Pillows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infrared-dream-pillow.md) - [Sleep-Enhancing Bedtime Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loftie-lamp.md) - [Pop-Up Reading Light Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-task-lamp.md)
